Weekly Blog Posts!

Hey everybody!

I hope you enjoyed the information I gave you last week about the National Parkinson Foundation.

This week I want you to give you some information about the Paul Ruby Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

The Paul Ruby Foundation for Parkinson's Research, started in 2007 and has raised more than $500,000 since then. They focus 100% on funding research, and has become partnered with Illinois's Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at Northwestern University.

Please stay tuned for next week, to hear information about one last foundation, out of many in the United States, that is focused on improving the care of Parkinson's patients and funds research in order to find a cure.

Hello, and I hope you enjoyed last week blog post about the Micheal J. Fox Foundation, and their effort in finding a cure for patients with Parkinson's disease.

This week, I would like to turn your focus on to the National Parkinson Foundation.

The National Parkinson Foundation is focused on driving breakthrough research by bringing together the leaders of NPF's Centers of Excellence in the United States, which are focused on delivering care to more than 50,000 Parkinson's patients. NPF has created a community of healthcare professionals that are dedicated to improve clinicial care in Parkinson's disease, through these Centers of Excellence. 

I'm planning on contributing to the research that is done at the National Parkinson Foundation, by collecting donations, and I also plan on helping other foundations by attending someone else's marathon in Erie, PA. 

Stay tuned, and next week I'll release more information about some more foundations that are in the process of finding a cure for Parkinson's disease.

For the next couple of weeks, I'll be focusing on the foundations that are in the process of finding a cure for Parkinson's disease, and I will also look at the mission of each of these foundations. 

This week I'm going to focus on The Micheal J. Fox Foundation.  

The promise of the Micheal J. Fox Foundation is to operate with a focused sense of optimistic urgency to find a cure for Parkinson's, and to ensure that there is a development of improved therapies for people that live with Parkinson's disease today. The foundation says that they won't stop until a cure is found for Parkinson's. 

Lecture Reflection:

February 6th, 2014

While a cure is in the process of being found, patients with Parkinson's can live a relatively regular life, even though they face minor complications that mostly deal with the symptoms that are associated with Parkinson's disease.
